Title: Copy Makernotes
Post by: dgood on March 15, 2018, 04:28:11 PM

Hi Phil

I'm trying to copy makernotes from [DIR#1]/filename.ARW to [DIR#2]/filename.JPG, where the filename is the identical.

I've tried the following command line:
exiftool -tagsfromfile /Dropbox/Photos/RAW\ Photos/2017/12/%F.%E -makernotes:all -ext JPG /Dropbox/Photos/JPEG\ Photos/2010\ -\ 2019/2017/2017\ -\ Q4

I get the message:

Code Select

    1 directories scanned
    0 image files read

What am I doing wrong?

Try just
-makernotes

What? The images are in two different directories?

I tried
exiftool -tagsfromfile /Dropbox/Photos/RAW\ Photos/2017/12 -makernotes /Dropbox/Photos/JPEG\ Photos/2010\ -\ 2019/2017/2017\ -\ Q4

but that didn't work, either.

I got:

Code Select

Error: File is empty

See FAQ 8 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q8) for copying makernotes.

Your last command didn't specify a file for the -tagsFromFile. You should add /%f.%e to the directory name.
